1. Close your eyes. 2. Visualize yourself standing in your room. 3. In your head, walk out of your room and make a tour around the whole house, visiting all rooms one by one.

Don't read the rest of the article until you have gone through all the steps above.

****
Are you done yet? :)

Now, did you meet any strangers in any of the rooms you went into?
If the answer is yes, you are psychically predisposed to see ghost! (Hurrah!!)
And by the way, that stranger you saw in your visualization was a real ghost.

One of my blog readers, Creepingsoftly, guides you through this ritual step by step in the cool video she made below!

I've discovered I'm terrible at visualizing things. I don't think I really did it properly, it was more a hazy remembering of what the rooms looked like? Although, there was a figure in the loungeroom, but I don't know if it was there just because I'd imagined it to be? Like, because I was expecting something to be there?

I closed my eyes and had trouble picturing myself for some reason. I had to really focus on what I looked like, or else I would slip into my own perspective, instead of watching myself.

I first set down my laptop, and got up out of bed, turned stiffly to the exit of my room into the living room. I turned left down the hall toward my roommate's room.

I somehow walked in through the doorway and realized it was all wrong. I rewound to open the door I had passed through, and my roommate was not there, though I know he is.

I turned back into the hall and continued down to the girls' room. I opened the door, and again, they were not there.

I was still having trouble focusing, and my movement was flickering into existence, like a reel of film missing some of its frames.

I opened the door to their closet and it was dark, then turned back and into their restroom. It was bright, like I remembered. I went to exit the room and it was suddenly tinted red, and I was able to see my movement more realistic than I had been able to this whole time.

I walked down the wall, and the red I saw became more saturated, darker, there were dark splatters across my eyes and scratching on the wall. I thought it was just my imagination having difficulty, but I opened the door to the bathroom across from my roommate's room.

I tried to open the door at least. It was at first that I couldn't imagine it. Then I forced myself, and I literally saw myself struggling with the door. It wouldn't open. Something was holding the other side closed.

When I finally opened the door, the dark room had two distinctly red glowing eyes, and a black, mist-like farm reached out for me with ink-like claws.

I refused this part of what I was watching and tried to open the door again.

It didn't resist this time, and I was cut at wildly. I dashed forward for the light to the room, and in an instant, it had vanished.

I walked back to my room and sat down on my bed, picking up my laptop, and could see through my own eyes again, shivering.

Thanks for comments as always, guys!!!:)And it was interesting to hear what you experinced through the ritual.I'm sorry for those of you who saw your loved ones during visualization. Sorry, 1st Anonymous, Catty, Dead.And jump - your report was very intriguing!But don't try this too often!I get worried.The last anonymous - sorry to have scared you!!

Oh, were you supposed to visualize yourself, like seeing through another's eyes? I think I did this wrong.

I was visualizing being in my room, but looking through my own eyes, like I was actually in my room (instead of in the living room at the computer, where I really was). And still seeing through 'my own eyes' looked around my room, and started the tour.

I didn't... see anything I shouldn't have like the strangers/loved ones other people have mentioned, but it was still really weird. I kept having these... mini-blackouts? that came and went really fast and some of them were like diagonal 'slashes' through my vision, where half or most of my vision was blocked but I could still see /some/. These started almost instantly, and at first I though I was just having difficulties concentrating & remembering what-was-where, but they got even worse as I started "walking" towards my bedroom door.It wasn't happening nearly as often once I was in the hallway, and nothing interesting happened there or in the bathroom. Then when I was in my mom's (not in college yet, so I still live w/ Mom) room, at first she wasn't on her bed, then *flash* she was there, sleeping & *flash* she was gone again. (She was reading, so I /know/ she was really there, awake and with the light on)

Anyways, that kinda weird-ed me out, so I quickly left. Went into my living room (though not very far into it), through the kitchen, onto the back hall-area & down the basement steps, stopping for a bit in each room to look around and still having the vision problems which got worse every time I stopped to look.I stopped at the foot of the stairs, did a sweeping look over everything and walked to the laundry area where once I was in the middle of, I was suddenly 'back' and looking at my computer screen.Besides the flashes and sudden end to my tour, the only unusual thing was in my room (which had no light on) while still being really dim had more light than it should have, and in the hallway & the kitchen (where the lights WERE on) the light was dimmed by about half.

Now, I'd like to know what any one who reads this thinks. Tired and an overactive imagination, or something else on the supernatural plane(is that the right word? I really am tired right now)? Was my ending the tour so abruptly just something in my head deciding I was done?

And if I try this again (preferably in broad daylight, or at least when I'm not super-tired), should I visualize /watching/ myself take the tour? Actually go fully into rooms and not just stay close to the doorways when possible like I did this time? Check out the closets (even though I don't consider them real 'rooms)? Try to finish the tour by actually going back up the stairs and into my room again?

hey will don't worry I did the same thing, it was from my perspective. I also watched myself sitting at the computer plugging my ears with my eyes closed. Awesome experience. Nothing unusual, except for a feeling of being watched from the top corner of my mom's closet when I looked in. It's like mediation. Thanks Saya. :D

I didn't realize I was supposed to be actually watching myself so I did the tour in first person. I started in my room and the entire upstairs was perfectly normal, though everything had the lights on and i was able to manipulate things so that it was summer instead of winter with 4 feet of snow outside the windows and on the patio.

When I got to the bottom of the stairs, there was suddenly a being standing DIRECTLY in front of me. It was an older man, pretty skinny with greying hair. He didn't seem aggressive but the atmosphere around him was definitely not happy either... I toured the rest of the downstairs nervously and kept my attention trained towards the stairs even when i couldn't see them...

I visualized like I was in my room looking around. Didn't see anything out of place in my house - only toured the top floor, I'm terrified of the basement even in my head - but I glanced out a window and saw a girl looking at me from my neighbour's house.

I tried this. It's kinda hard for me to do at the moment since i live with two boys (boyfriend and his roommate) and they are both awake playing loud music. But when i got upstairs to where his parents and siblings live i couldn't see anyone there and i had trouble getting through the kitchen like my mind didn't want to go any further. I finally pushed through and saw a dark figure, assuming its a man, sitting on the couch watching the television. I went ahead and checked his parents room, siblings rooms, and the bathroom and walked back out to the living room. The man was still there but he was now watching me. It scared me a little bit but i was turning to head back through the kitchen so i didn't bother to care. The weird part is that before i hit the kitchen doorway i was suddenly back infront of my computer downstairs with a pounding headache. Any ideas?

there is a dark man in the hallway he looked at me.i have seen him before in dreams he is tall and thin with a hood over where is face should be, he knoked on my room door in the dream and when i opend it he try to get in so i tryed to rip his face off this is when i wock up i have not had this dream in years.what do you think he is a ghost a demon or just a figment of my imagination?

I'm a bit scared to try this. It wouldn't attract anything, would it? I learned that I might be a bit sensitive to ghosts but I'm not totally sure and don't know if it would be a risk or not. I'm dying to try it though.

Someone told me nothing would happen to me. Well, visualizing it, my TV kind of distracted me and nothing really happened plus I knew what to expect, so I kind of blocked out things. Second time, I kept thinking of a wild-eyed figure in every room. Third time, I did start thinking of my dead pets since I kind of wanted to see them, and while one of my dead dogs weren't there a dead family cat that died before I was born was on the dining room table, jumped off, and went into the family room. In the bathroom I did see the wild-eyed figure again, and at the end as I was walking back to my room I visualized a figure hanging down from a noose in my mom's bedroom doorway.

I saw something under my bed, felt like I went through something on the stairs, saw some man on the couch watching TV, felt something in the bathroom upstairs, got a screamer vid on the computer screen, and chickened out on the basement and attic steps.I also made myself play on the internet.

I closed my eyes and pictured myself walking out the door that leads in/out of my room (which is in the basement.) As soon as I opened the door, a zombie was standing there. ;___; So I pretty much just ran to the room next to me, grabbed two swords (my brother collects them, so yes, they do actually exist) and cut off its head. More and more of them kept appearing, and I ran through the house attacking them. When I got outside it was dark and cloudy, and they were all standing there, staring at me.

I pictured myself in my room, that is kind of haunted, and there was a black thing with a white face, and dark sunken eyes, like No-Face from spirited away. In my parent's room and bathroom there were nothing, so I just went to the first floor.

Nothing in the hall, someone in the kitchen, someone in the workroom, two people on the living room. I'm shitting bri/x/ now.

I live in Calgary, that's a large city (Huge city) in Alberta. I live in a two story house with my mother (I'm 18) who is a witch (Literally, I'm not being a jerk) and I tried this, and I got... strange results.

I saw a man in a wide rimmed hat, all black clothing and... kind of no face? A rustic, reddish-brown furred dog, who looked straight at me, and I saw a strange, whitish glowing presence which was in my mothers room. She has a crystal skull that apparently is named Ray (It's actual name is a string of letters that makes no sense) Anyways, I'm going to try this again tommorow when I wake up and see if what I saw was real or not.

I didn't realize I was supposed to do it in third person. Anyway, I made it to my front bedroom (didn't see anyone along the way:( ) and then everything went completely black and then turned blue. the more I tried to continue, the brighter blue I saw until I finally gave up. Anyway, I'll try this again later.

I saw a person sitting on the couch in the front room... someone was sleeping on the floor in the laundry room... a sweet looking girl was sitting in the hallway... there was a woman who seemed to be taking a bath in the bathroom, which was odd... There was a dark mass in my sisters room... The TV in my room (not plugged in) had a white screen, and the TV in the living room was on a static channel which I thought I saw a face in... and I thought I saw a creepy looking face in our car in the garage. Dang, either my imagination got the best of me or our house is really haunted. O_o

Wow. I tried this, and had to really focus to not make it go into my perspective, like jump. Everything was normal, except in my kitchen and dining room,there was a strange brown figure I kept seeing, like it was following me. Creepy, but very cool. Thanks Saya!

@Saya PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP. At first i was able to easily visualize my home, walking through rooms, but as i walked, my vision began to blur, my house was changing slightly, different and new objects everywhere, different layout in some rooms. i came across a woman and a man, very creepy the woman followed. after a while tho (i did this for about half an hour i couldnt open my eyes for some reason D:)she disappeared and i lost sight. through my eyes that is. i could see myself in third person, like i was standing behind myself, looking through someones eles eyes. i could still move, but i was being followed, it was horribly strange and when i finally opened my eyes i felt like i was being watched. theres a loud screeching coming from some rooms and its really creeping me out. any thoughts on this? please respond

As I made my way to the 3rd floor of my house, I could feel something was wrong. I didn't see anything, because it was night. It was a horrible, nasty feeling. I kept wavering between my vision and my mind, like feeling of actually being there in a different, hovering type of thi going on between the feeling of knowing you're in your own mind. I felt my physical body begin to sweat, and I had to get out of there. Kinda, flew down the stairs. Legit, no legs like you can imagine with a ghost with no legs just a squiggly... Mist where their legs should be. What would this be? I did not see any being or person in my vision, just a nasty negative feeling of something there. Please help to enlighten me if you have any knowledge of what I experienced.

I saw two people, but they weren't scary at all. One was playing pool in my bonus room, looking classy with a suit and cool hat... the other was a larger woman washing dishes in my kitchen. The only other thing is when I went into my parents' room, it got bright and misty in there. Magical perhaps.

I actually read the below part and kind of scared so I guess I won't be doing this... plus I would have big difficulty to turn myself back to normal.Also currently I'm living in an hundred year old boarding school... and I'm one of those who are sensitive to ghost (I've seen them twice in my life and had one actually followed me home once...) so I don't think I would really risk doing so... Maybe I can get a friend to try this or something...

It's hard to tell whether or not this worked, or if my imagination decided to run rampant. My third person visualization was very clear. It seemed that my house was clear, until I walked into the kitchen. A small man with a disfigured face, odd limp, and a large pair of shears slowly followed me around. I can only imagine that this is my brain conjuring up Bobby Barrows from memory. I ran back to where I had closed my eyes to visualize, and opened my eyes. It's rather chilly in here, and yet I'm sweating. Is this just a result of over imagination fueled by adrenaline, or should I take this as a sensitivity to spirits?

SAYA, my gf has these abilities and has for awhile and I ask her to teach me but she insist I learn on my own, I personally would love some tips from you if you would email me, I am serious about this. My email is billy.jennings94@ymail.com Thanks

so i did this in my/our room and well saw a white light thing it was bright it was in front of my bed and then i left the room and went to the living and saw my dad sitting on his chair just like when he was alive and watching tv or dvd maybe he likes movies anyway i continued to the dining room there was nothing i think then to the bathroom there was also this bright white light i left returned to my/our room then as i was about to sit on my bed a little girl wearing a white dress came out of the white light thing running towards me she was smiling but i don't remember what she looked like her skin is a little dark...anyway she was running towards me then hugged me and i fell on my bed with her and i felt happy for some reason i dont know why maybe because a little girl hugged me? so does this mean anything?

i tried it and while i visualizing i felt like someone was watching me while i was doing this i have people living with me (relatives, i hate to be alone) but they're asleep. anyway when i started in my room i saw myself on the laptop (the laptop is in the kitchen it stays in the kitchen, it's my dads for work but he let's me use it) but it looked like i didn't noticed myself like i wasn't there but i didn't care i continued into the living room and it looked like a black shadow form by the lamp, i got scared a little because i hate the dark (a friend of mine went missing in the dark, we were close) but i remembered carrying a flashlight with me like always (the dark remember) but i checked my pocked i didn't have it and the dark figure came at me! i ran into my parents room and hid in the closet with the light on, of course it found me so i closed my eyes, but it didn't touch me like it was afraid of the light, then i saw my flashlight in my mom's shoe (??) and flash it on the dark figure and it turned into dust, i don't know what just happened, but i couldn't open my eyes for a while then when i opened my eyes after what felt like hours i went to my parent's room i saw dust or ashes in front of the closet and the light of my parent's closet was on and i remembered it being off....

I tried. I tried like a couple times to visualise myself back then. And I saw myself. Yes I'm me myself. But at my sight, as I'm walking exploring every single room on my apartment, there's a pale face in front me blocking. She's like really, staring right to my face!! IDK how to explain this. But I think she's hanging in front of my face and didn't let me visualize anything! What's the matter if she's a real ghost anyway?! >:(

This seems a little flawed. I'm sure curiosity got the better of most of us, and conitued reading without doing the visualization. Since we are told that if we saw someone in our visualization we have an 'ability', the idea is already planted in our subconscious. so when we do visualization thing, we come up with images we associate with ghost--unconsciously of course.

My mom told me that there were 2 fetuses when she was pregnant. But after a few months, the other baby was gone. I was the one who survived, but then I ended up growing to see things beyond the naked eye. I've never been able to see my other twin, but when I tried to visualize myself standing in my bedroom, I saw someone who looks just like me. I had no idea what to say, so I stopped..

Hmm. I found this really hard to do. I couldn't visulaize my room or house clearly, it was like it as smoky, bits and pieces were covered. I didn't see anyone but I don't feel like this house has any ghosts in it anyway.I can't see ghosts I guess (>_<)I don't know why but I feel dissapointed lol. By the way when I was watching the video I thought she was going to give us a guide of her house... so I was sitting waiting for something to happen lol!

i did this on august 1 this year i didn't have this google account yet so i was anonymous, when i did this i'm not sure if i did it right since i was lying on my bed then closed my eyes so i'm not sure if it was a dream or not hehe..^^

@Anon: your account of the ritual is very interesting to me, dear Anonymous, if I may use that expression. I hope your twin rests in peace. Thank you for sharing it with us.

@Princess: would you like to be able to see ghosts? Because I wouldn't. lol I don't remember what I saw when I first tried this ritual myself but I'm sure if I didn't see anyone I would've felt relieved, not disappointed!

@ryuu: I've just read the comment posted on 1 August. So you saw your daddy and a strange little girl? If they were ghosts they were both nice ghosts then! That is both very interesting and strange! Thank you for sharing your experience! :)

a strnge thing happened to me just now.i was walking through our house (really small one-floor terraced house apartment) and it had gone swimmingly. i left from my room, went through our house (two-part hallway, bathroom and sauna, living room, kitchen) when i remembered i hadn't visited my little sister's room yet. she's still probably awake, but i imagined her to be sleeping. i sneaked to her room, pitch-black, went through it to visit a small built-in-the-house closet, and when i opened the door in my visualization, i heard a creak in the real life. i panicked a bit, and ran back to my room. i'm slightly concerned about this. could this mean something? please tell me. i haven't yet read the other comments, but i will and try to find something that might have something to do with my case.

Saya-san, I have a question. Have you ever heard of "Sachiko ever After" ritual? I know it's from a game and probably not real, but my curiosity killed me. I really wanted to try the ritual. I couldn't find it in Google so I hope yo can investigate this for me, and maybe for other people too. Thanks :)

@ian: in answer to your last question, yes, you could see creatures other than ghosts. That is something I'm hoping to talk about in my new article about the same ritual. It might take a while until it's ready though!

Something kept following me from room to room. A dark silhouette liked to appear in a room I was looking into, or it would manifest in the hallway behind in a still fashion, such as the angels from doctor who.

I was able to visualize my whole house... every room, nook, and cranny, very clearly... and there were so many of them... Luckily I saw none in my room nor my brother's. But there was one in the guest room, kitchen, lounge... study... and those are the rooms I am completely scared of. Not even funny scared of sort of thing.

I remember trying this before and seeing shadowy figures. I tried again now and when I get to my room and my parents room everything is hazy and black and something keeps throwing me out of the room and makes my head hurt :(

My sisters made me do this for fun. They never told me it was a ghost test. I thought it was a "How-well-do-you-know-the-layout-of-your-house-test". Like other people, I saw shadowy figures. Usually, they were just chillin' in the corners or rooms or behind lamps. It was kind of freaky. I think those shadowy figures/djiin are kind of common. I hope. ;))

My sisters and I used to do something similar to this when we were younger. I would close my eyes and my other sister would rub the corners of my eyes and tell me to envision myself outside of my house. She would then instruct me to go through the house and open every door until I met someone. Once I did she told me to ask them questions... Sometimes they would answer. Maybe it was all in my imagination (I've always had an overactive imagination), but it was a really creepy game... And usually the people I would meet were people I didn't know... But it was fun. ^^ I miss playing it~

Also! I'm glad to see you posting again!! You're one of my favorite horror bloggers!

I did it, and while I still managed to watch myself, I was able to see two people in the living room, thought their shapes were inconstant, as if my mind was trying to fit them into things I had already seen, but was unable to. And then after I finished it, I felt a chill on my spine and looked at the television... On the turned of screen, I can see a bunch of fingerprints. I dk if that's even related or if they're recent, but creeped me out anyway x3.

The entire time I did this, I never saw any people. Although, in some of the rooms I entered, there was a weird static in my peripheral vision. Whenever I looked through a window, there was nothing there. For some reason, all the mirrors in my house simply didn't reflect Either.

This seemed fairly harmless, so I tried it and not much happened, though I did get static in my hair as someone else mentioned.

The creepy part and reason I'm posting. I took a nap a little while ago and had a dream. In my dream I was watching myself going around the rooms with my eyes shut. When I came to my bedroom I saw in the mirror that under the bed, there was a white faced girl with dark hair watching me. That image has stayed with me ever since I woke up. No idea if it means anything, but was strange.

I tried this just to try something new. And I saw me at first. Then it switched to a first-person view and as I entered every room I would turn around and I would always see 2 people following me, but my view would always be obstructed by a shadow standing in front of me. I would have to walk around it.

I'm not sure if I just have a weird imagination but when I did it there were people everywhere. My room was calm when I started and then I remembered I had to explore each room so off I went. I didn't walk at first, I moved without touching anything but I felt crowded. Faces stared in the dark at me. I ignored everyone because I didn't feel I should talk with any of them. The more rooms I explored the more crowded I felt until I went to my sister's room where I remebered happy thoughts and it felt calm again. I left my sister's room and closed the door and immediately I regreted it and opened the door and the happy thoughts were gone and it was crowded again. I quickly explored the rest of the rooms as fast as I could because I was being followed. When I finally got to the basement, the last room, I began actually walking instead of levitating and then arms grabbed at me but I shoved them away with surprising strength. I then jolted through the basement and ran back upstairs feeling every step and made it back in my room. I shut the door. Jumped into the top bunk of my bunk bed (literally jumped) and shoved my whole body under the covers and "woke up". I'm not even at home right now, I'm at my brother's house.

In real life, I closed my eyes. Then I appeared in my room standing directly in the middle. I went out of my room and into the hall and saw a grown man but a shadow was preventing me was preventing me to see any features. Then I went into my mother/father's room and saw a grown woman with short hair was there. But again, a shadow prevented me from seeing her. Then I went into my brother's room and say a man who looked EXACTLY the same as the first man I saw and a shadow was also covering him. Then I went into the attic (This is where it get's scary) I walked up the stairs to the attic and say a 8 foot tall, shadowed covered thing with big horns on it's head. It then dashed to me, grabbed my neck and slammed me to a wall saying:

"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU! AS SOON AS YOU OPEN YOUR EYES, I WILL COME INTO YOUR HOUSE AND DRAG YOU TO HELL!"

For some reason, I managed to break free and I ran downstairs. I then saw a shadowed covered little girl in my kitchen. I then walked out if the kitchen to see that I was at the computer desk, that THING that was in the attic was getting ready to slam something on me. I then opened me eyes, turned to the direction where the that thing was and I saw nothing.

Omg...i tried this with my sister and i told her step by step what to do and when i asked if she saw anyone....and she said 'well...i saw someone in our room' 'i dont know. It was just a black figure and I felt kind of scared.' 'i think I saw it in the family room too' < OMG EIRBDOENFOEFYSIE WHAT THE HECK ): > by the way I didn't tell her why I made her do it either so now I'm genuinely creeped out cause I didn't think she would meet anyone and in OUR ROOM OF ALL PLACES TT____TT AND WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE A SCARY BLACK FIGURE ): OTL

For some reason, when I try it, I get this really negative (for lack of better word) feeling, like someone flashing a stop sign in my face.Also I think I sensed myself looking at me, while visualizing myself..You know, like someone came quietly from behind.does this make sense? Bottom line, from what I managed to feel, the house (breathing residents aside) doesn't feel empty as it should.

My best friend can see ghosts. Most of the girls on her mom's side of the family can. I know this because she's never seen a picture of my great aunt or anything before, but she died two years ago, and one day when I was at my friends house, she described her perfectly. I can't see ghosts, but I think I can tell when they're nearby. Ever since I was little, I always feel like someone's behind me. When I turn around, no one is there. But I never used to stand in the middle of a room I always had my back against something so nothing could be behind me. Am I being haunted?

For me, I didn't really see anyone, but in my visualization, I kept flipping back and forth from being in first person to third person, it wasn't me. It was a woman that sort of looked like me, but very different. It was a pale woman with dark, curly hair. I didn't see the eye color, I remember this bright red lipstick she was wearing and that she looked very 1940s. Weird.

Tried it the first time but everything looked perfectly normal. I did it in first person the first time so I tried it again this time with the video listening to it in third person. Literally just as I visualize myself sitting here on the computer, to the right behind me is a 6-7 foot tall guy in a black coat with a pale face. Literally only lasted two seconds the second time. Already felt like something was watching me. Going to attempt the third time to talk to it.

When I started the tour I saw a little boy in the corner of my room crying... I've had visions of how this boy died and it is horrific. His father came home drunk and beat him to death with a hammer. I continued my tour and saw a man in the bathroom. As I went into my brothers room I could see him asleep but nothing out of the ordinary. Walking down the hall a man followed me with his eyes. On into the kitchen and I can hear the distinct sounds of chopping. A man is standing at the counter chopping something. The rest of the house is normal but on my way back to my room I feel like someone is following me and I turn around to see my mother.I knew my mother was there because I talk to her. The other ghosts I've seen around but I never talked to them. I guess I should try and help them but my family doesn't know I talk to the dead. Having a gift is sometimes hard to live with but I love it to death.... Lol no pun intended. I want to tell my family that I can see ghosts but I don't know how. They already think that I am weird so I don't need this on my shoulders as well. If anybody has some good advice I would love to hear it, because when I tried to tell my dad I can see ghosts he just made fun of me. I need help.

@Anonymous (27 Oct): You just imagine the whole thing in your head. I've changed the wording of the instruction just now, to make the meaning clearer. The word order got messed up because it was translated from Japanese. I translated this a long time ago, and in thoses days I wasn't as careful as I am now. Thanks for pointing out to me the ambiguity of the text!

I want to do this ritual, but I'm worried that my mind will immediately jump to the darkest, most dangerous option or a dead relative. My imagination can't conjure up a figure unless I've seen it before, or it is very simple in design. I can remember both my old house and this one very clearly, so that's not an issue. So, does it count if the images are planted into my mind prior to doing the ritual, or do they have to come as a result of the actual locations in combination with my phsycic(I have no clue how to spell Phsycic, LOL) level? If it has to do with the latter solely, I might give this a try since it would lower my chance of seeing the dark figure that is supposed to be dangerous.

Thoughts went through both of my heads. "You're not supposed to see yourself! Something bad may happen. A rule of time travel: You aren't supposed to run into yourself!"

A big black dome of energy surrounded both of me as I waited for the world to end. Time no longer existed in that moment, and knowledge formerly unknown to me ran through both of my heads.

"This is not supposed to happened! This CAN'T happen."

Somehow I both thought I'd be stuck there with myself forever. Neither of me was scared, but neither knew what it meant for the rest of the world.

Suddenly, one of me remembered that this was only an exercise. The black energy surrounding us lifted, and my exploring self stayed for just a moment as time returned. Hesitation to see if the world had ended. Realizing the world was still intact, I casually walked through the other rooms of my home.

You meet a stranger and it's a real ghost? You meet people you know that have passed and they are real ghosts/spirits? What the fog does it mean when you meet yourself?

I can tell you this. I died in 2004. I was ready to die, but I was sent back. They said I had more to do. So, I guess I did meet someone who had passed.

So gosh I did this last night and I at first I was disappointed because the only figure I saw was myself in the hall way mirror. That was actually kinda fun though because my reflection moved the way a reflection should which I wasn't expecting. Everything seemed mostly normal until I got to my partners, mom's bathroom and I saw weird giant plant thing against one of the walls. That's not something normally there!

I am not sure whether subconscious thoughts count at all- by this I mean thoughts that 'pop' into your head straight away without any conscious thought....anyway I did see four personalities 'pop' into my head while watching myself tour my current home...

1) my elderly neighbor standing in the kitchen (she hasn't passed away...)2) my deceased grandad just walking in the living room3) another deceased grandad who was sitting down on my couch4) a women in the bathroom, laying in the bathtub without any water but naked I think :-S ....no idea who she was (this wasn't a fantasy or a dream, I can tell you that!)

ok someone help me here... was saying goodbye to my gf tonight I felt a breath on my neck and turned around only to see myself standing a step down and I turned to see if she saw it and out was gone... what was this...

Hey! I had a tour, and since I just moved house from the experiences I have had, I decided to go though both houses. Remember, I went through my first house whilst not knowing the second part about the if you see strangers you can see ghosts.

My new house imagine:I was in my bedroom, There was a urge to look at my wardrobe, I couldnt look through it but it was a weird urge. I opened my door, It was a struggle to imagine the house buy I went through and I felt instantly that someone was watching me, A teenager boy was standing in front of my door with a despressed face. I walked down the hallway and saw a man with blood everywhere and a knife in his hand and red-ish eyes. I ran into my sisters room and everything was bright and cosy, but the walk in waldrobe seemed way much to darker than usual. I walked to my parents room and say a boy younger than me, huddled up in a corner sad and dim as if he was homeless. I saw a tall, well old-fashioned man glaring at where my dad sleeps, I ran down stairs and it was cosy as usual, until I got to the kitchen. It felt like someone was peeking through a cupboard and breathing heavy. I walked to my garage and I felt scared, nervous and sick all at the same time. It was like loads of people was reaching out to grab me, but I rushed up the stairs into my room.Then I opened my eyes in real and had a scary glimpse at my laptop screen from a white face.

Old, haunted house:I tried to think and imagine, but I can't. I am only in my room with a young, old fashioned girl, dressed as a farmer and slitley transparent with big bags under her blood-shot eyes. I can feel the same presence as my new house wardrobe, since they are both the esact same wardrobe. I can;t open the door to the rest of my house, it's all a blur.I snapped into real life and I felt dizzy and sick, then I ran to my bathroom and nearly threw up.

Hi umm this doesn't have anything to do with the ritual but was hoping somebody could help me... I know my house is haunted because I have seen them.. my moms dead cat,shadow people ,ect but anyhow tonight I saw something new I saw fog two different times tonight i n two different places of the house I have also had a lot of anxiety and nausea For the past couple of days.. I guess my question would be... is it new and why is it here Thank you

This is so creepy. I saw someone in my paretns room, and that's where I usually think I saw someone when I pass it in real life. Then I saw someone in ny room and in the mirror in my bathroom. Thats so creepy.

I seen the 5people I always see and the one I am friends with and I have been for two years and I always thought I was crazy now I knoe im not I am looking at a spirit right now actualy. And I am vrry s ared. And im only 13

After years of trying meditations and affirmations to see ghosts I finally stumbled on this and thought it sounded too easy not to try. I made sure I protected myself energetically first. Closed my eyes and focused on breathing until I relaxed then visualised standing in my bedroom, I was surrounded by spirits. They kept asking me for my help, I walked through my whole house and they were everywhere. not evil just lost and needing help. I must have fallen into a sleep not long later. I was hiding behind the door to the guest bedroom except the room was decorated with a computer table and very old computer, as I was standing behind the door I honestly felt like I was sleepwalking and someone was going to ask me what i was doing. I finally worked up the courage to walk out of the door and back into my bedroom and I saw a dark shadowy figure walking around my bed, i wasnt scared but i knew he was evil. Suddenly I felt like I couldn't breath, it was the most intense feeling, my body felt paralysed and I was trying to wake it up so I could breath. I thought it was a pretty unreal experience. Need to see an energy healer now though I had a dream the other night that felt so real I almost believe it was that i asked the dark figure what he was and he replied "the most evil darkness you will ever know" its incredible after years of trying i finally got to see them unfortunately i think i opened the gateway for something sinister despite my protection methods.

I looked at myself standing in my room, clear, but blurry, everything seemed to be covered in a line of foam. I made my way dwn the hall way, entered the spare rooom, but just as i was opening the door i saw a creepy girl covered with black scars ther, she disappeared annd on my floor, the dolls i have organised were moved about as if played with....and when i opened my eyes and looked inside the room, they actually where moved.....

I started in my room, like it said. I was visualizing it through my eyes. Looking around, I saw nothing unusual, except there were a few things missing, which was quite strange. But then I just walked out.

I walked out of the room and down the hallway. I went into my brothers room, and there was a black figure on the bed. No details, just the outline of a body. It's head was turned and was staring at me. Feeling strange, I walked out.

I then walked into my college brother's room. There was nothing strange. But then I turned and walked to his bathroom. The black figure was standing there. This time it had defined, almost glow like white eyes. I ran out.

I went into my sisters's room. I thought I saw the figure on one of their beds, but only for a flash. I'm still not sure I saw it. I went back to the hall.

I walked towards the bathroom, and as I was about to turn the corner to the bathroom, I couldn't. It was like I was on a scratched video tape. I finally stumbled out of it though. There was nothing in the bathroom. I turned around, and there was the figure again, standing in front of me. It disappeared after a little though. I ran down the stairs, not very confident.

I walked through the living room, nothing. Into the dining room, nothing. But then I saw the figure in the doorway into the kitchen. It disappeared again. I ran through the doorway, and nothing in the kitchen.

I went down the stairs to our basement like downstairs level. There was nothing in my den. Nothing in the laundry room. Nothing in the bathroom. Nothing in my mom and stepdad's room. I walked into their bathroom, and I thought I saw the figure in the doorway again, but I might have not seen it.

Then I ended the tour. I decided to do my dad's apartment next.

In my room, I thought I saw a glimpse of a black figure on my bed, and maybe then on my sister's. Not positive though.

Nothing in the bathroom.

Walking into my dad's room, and I think I caught a glimpse of the figure on my dad's bed. Nothing in my dad's bathroom.

I walked into the den/kitchen area. Looking over to the couch, I stared at a creature with very large teeth until it disappeared. There was nothing else. I ended the tour.

Then I did the house I was born in, because of the other article. I think this one was the worst of all.

I started in my old room. Nothing unusual, but I was having trouble visualizing things. I walked to my bathroom. At first, I had everything wrong. I concentrated and got it to fix eventually. But I saw a figure in the mirror. It was hard to make out, but I didn't look at it long. It freaked me out.

My sister's room was next. A glimpse of a motherly figure in the rocking chair was seen.

I went into my mom and dad's room. I think I saw the black figure again, by the window. Then, I went into the bathroom. I stayed here for maybe a second. The figure was in the mirror again.

In my brother's room, there was a girl on the bed. Her skin looked sort of...cracked. I ran out.

Through the rest of the house, I saw figures. Strange people and sometimes just blobs in the foyer, living room, study, kitchen. I ended the vision as soon as I can.

I don't know what to make of my experience. I've become sort of paranoid now, and I feel I'm being watched. And what about the black figure? That was reoccurring in all of my visions. If anyone has explanations, I'd really like to hear them.

I see one in my apartment. And the last person who lived there died in the bathroom but he's usually in my livingroom. First he tried to shoo me away, then got calm and is now friendly. Oh, and I see ghosts all the time, anywhere. Just foggy human shapes, walking around, just like humans. Maybe because I see them, they see me as well and for them, I am a ghost. One ghost usually follows me. Maybe it has no place to be. When I go to sleep he sits beside me and during daytime wanders around me like any friend would. Maybe I'm all he has. I think that if you're not scary for them, they're not scary for you. Some of them can't see us, so they walk through. Some take few steps to the side not to "bump on" you.

Not like u guys.....i had this gift since i was 12....for the first time...it scared me a lot....but now it get used to it ...if u guys badly want to meet ghost...here is my tip...enter house that has been abandoned for a long time....pee in the unknown hole ....speak rudely in forest on how unscare of ghost u are....or lake...the...u will see the ghost for sure...even non gifted person can see the ghost...the ghost u will see if you do all the above is the angry ghost.....for your infomation...ghost are not human....if they look like human of the dead person....it is either demon or spirit from other world....

Hmm... well, I saw people in my living room, watching James Bond. At first, I was having trouble visualizing my own house but as soon as I saw the movie it was fairly clear. There were friends and family but they all seemed like they had an accident- not, like, death accident, but accident enough to cause some visible damage. I even saw myself. It was like I was watching myself from my own eyes somewhere. I was holding hands with someone who was deeply interested in the movie, and, since I had already watched it, I was watching them. Someone- my mom, maybe?- was smiling at me and gesturing for me to do something and I caught the person's attention quicker than anything I've seen, and they smiled, mouthing some words with a chuckle like motion following.

I don't know why I couldn't hear them- us?- but I was trying to read my own lips, to patch in the holes, but I could only catch, 'of course I will' and an older figure- my dad maybe?- jumped up and stood in between the both of us and before anything else could be said, it was only me and that one person, who was clearer now, with my brother. The movie was on pause, and I was crying over something- a grave? When I looked towards the TV, I found it was only a grave. My dad's name was on it.

Is this weird? Is it weird that I'm afraid that this may happen in the future? I'm known to predict bad things...

@saya and hi guys...u says that u see the "person"in ur house rite?how are they look like?real or just blur without real shape and just seems black?cause i tried this and i only can feel it but can't relly see it...and it is kindda weird that when i walk around,i walk like clinging to the wall and cannot walk properly in the spaces of my house...is it normal or how should i improve to see more clearly?Help please?

I've tried this twice, visualizing both of my old house.. I'm not really a stranger for any paranormal thingy, since i've saw my first ghost clearly when i'm a 4th grader, though i can't see them at will, only capable of sensing or seeing a passing glance sometime.. Now, to the review..

In my first house, i saw a man-like figure standing in the first floor, doing nothing.. On the stair to the 2nd floor, a woman keep on going up and down.. On the 2nd floor, i saw a head floating, just the head, without any other body parts.. When i saw the head, i ceased the visualization, not checking my old room on the 2nd floor..

Now, on my 2nd house where i stayed for 2 years back when i'm a 4th grader to 6th..

Just as soon i stepped out of my room, i saw a woman with crack on her bloody face, hovering around me and followed me around.. Just at the back area where we usually do laundry, a man is leaning on the wall, looking not hostile at all.. Back to the inside, i checked the indoor basketball court, and a giant figure (locally named Genderuwo, you could google that) is there.. There's many figure i couldn't make heads or tail in the first floor..

Just when i ascend the stair to the 2nd floor, something flung and wrapped itself around my face, and i ceased my visualization out of reflex.. After that, i have a headache around the forehead where that thing wrapped itself..

*fyi, my 1st house did have became a place of a suicide, in which a woman hung herself.. Might be the one i saw on the stair..

in my 2nd house, you don't need any 6th sense to encounter something, really.. Every member of my family has saw something, at least twice.. It was once used as a garment factory, and no one lived there for about 15 years, until i reside there.. According to rumor and my grandpa who lived nearby, a man once died there, he fell from the roof..

Ah, and after i tried this, i became a bit sensitive at my current house, like that one time i saw a girl sitting on my sis's bed, at 10pm.. My sis is away at that time..

All in all, this is quite an unique experience, and maybe makes me either sharper, or cursed for a bit.. *grin*

okay, so i saw myself in my room sitting on my bed, and i got a really scared felling. I was trying to make myself do the tour, but my subconscious was forcing me to run. I was trying to stay and walk through. But again, my subconscious made me sprint out of my house and all the way across the street, I'm officially terrified.

I imagined it in first person. So I imagined my room and my friend was in thee and there was this thing laying on my bed. My friend then proceeded to follow me around and poke me. Until I got to the steps, Mind you I saw nothing on the top floor other then the thing that was in my room and my friend. Then as I was going down the stairs I saw something peek out from the livingroom doorway. When I reached the room nothing was there. But I started to hear laughing. When I went out to the kitchen I saw something sitting at my table. So I then went down to the basement and this little girl popped out. She was literally covered with blood. Then she asked me if I could play with her. I just ran. But I was so curious so I went outside and it was deserted. So I went back in my room and went back to the real world. But a few things are weird to me.- I started in my room but ended up downstairs. - my friend toils me I walked her home but at the time I was imagining it. - I can hear something walking around in my kitchen - and I still can hear the laughter still

I just did it and it felt so real,now my head hurts super bad and it's worse then a headache,as if someone is trying to squeeze my head. Anyways I started in my bedroom of my old house I use to live in,I had a odd feeling but dismissed it,I first walked out of my room and entered my front room,it was night outside but yet I couldn't see anything,it was just pure black,I tried to ignore it and entered my guest bedroom,when I turned around there was a big foggy pure black figure shyly standing in the corner of the doorway facing me,I then felt a but worried but was still calm. So as a precaution I refused to look at it anymore and kept my mouth shut the whole time,I then walked into my kitchen,I felt the figure following me but I didn't hear any footsteps, it was just a feeling, and a strange one at that. I then went to my bathroom and opened the door,I looked into the room but just stood at the door way,the bathroom was much darker then the rest of the house and I could only see the outlines of the objects in the room. As I stood there I could see the figure out of the corner of my eye,it stared into the room to,almost curiously,it was much taller then I am to,I then walked away leaving the bathroom door open. I entered the basement, but this time when I reached the bottom of the steps I could hear small creaking,I knew it was the figure,I stood there for a few moments to see if it would stop..and it did,I then entered the laundry room for a quick moment and over to the storage room,as I crossed by the stairs I kept my back to the figure,I opened the door after a few trys,don't worry it was always like this due to how much junk covered the left side of the door,I seen all of the junk piled on each other like it always was,I then closed the door and went to the staircase to exit the basement. As I stood at the at step I looked up,curious as to what the figure was doing,I seen it just standing there at the middle of the stair case,blocking my way,I felt my heart pound but yet..my body and mind was calm..I looked down and started up the stairs,when I passed ithe figure I kept looking down,then I quickly went up stairs and shut the door behind me. I locked the door and walked back to my bedroom,the door was closed for some odd reason,I remember clearly leaving the door open,I didn't care since I was eager to go back,I then stood in my original spot from where I entered from,I then stood in the middle of the room and faces the door way,I heard soft knocking from the basement door,I felt some sort of pity,it was only a small amount mind you,but I couldn't shake it off,I then closed my eyes,when I opened them I was back in my bed in my house,so I want to know if anyone can find out what this means,and why is there a figure following me? I wonder...

Ok so it was all in a first person view point,when I opened my eyes I was in my bedroom of my old house,I stood in the enter of the room that me and my mother shared,I stood facing the door,I took a moment to look around the room to make sure no one else,or anything else,was in the room. After that I approched the door and opened it,please do note that I leaving all of the doors open when I enter or leave a room,first I went into the front room,everything was in place and looked as if I never left,but I looked at one of the windows from where I was standing and noticed that all I could see was darkness, no houses,no sounds,nothing,not even when I walked I didn't hear my feet hit the floor,I then procceded to my grandmother's bedroom. I opened the door and stepped into the room,so that I'm not repeating myself everything in the house was in place and looked as it use to before I moved,I looked around and when I was done I faced the door,ready to leave. But there stood a pure black,foggy figure shyly looking at me from the corner of the doorway,no eyes,no physical features were seen,just a pure black figure with misty outlines,without missing a beat I took a breath and took a precaution not to talk or make any sound,as it not frighten or anger 'it' and let it do it's thing,I walked past it and looked at the ground as I did. I went to the kitchen and then to the bathroom,I opened the door and looked at the room,it was darker then the other rooms in the house,all I could see was outlines of the sink,cabinet,toilet and bathtub,as well as the cabinet. Half of the room was pitch black(quick note I felt the figure follow me as I walked into the kitchen and bathroom,I didn't look over my shoulder or not..I just..knew,or felt it.) Out of the corner of my eyes I seen the figure,looking into the bathroom almost curiously, I didn't feel no evil attached to it or anything malicious, it stood by me as I stood there for a few moments,trying to make since as to what was happening. Once I was done I walked over to the basement door,I felt fear and started to breath heavily, I stopped walking and stood at the kitchen doorway calming myself down,making a few quiet breaths. Once I was calmed down completely I unlocked the basement door and opened it,I then went down the stairs,once I was at the last step I heard soft creaking sounds,no doubt it was the figure following me,I didn't dare to question why it was following me just in case,the creaking stopped and I just inferred it stopped for now,but I shrugged it off and went into the laundry room,I then quickly went to the junk room right across from the laundry room,as I passed the stairs I kept my back to it and tryed to open the door. After a few tries the door creaked as it opened,our door was always like this since we had so much junk that leaned on one side of the door,i looked in the room for a long moment and then shifted the door. I took a step and then looked up,my curiosity took over me and I wondered what it was doing,the figure just stood in the middle of the stair case,blocking my way,just...standing there,I then looked down and quickly went up the stairs,once I was at the top I closed the door and locked it,I turned around to see my bedroom door closed,I thought of it a bit odd since I left it open as stated before,I shrugged it off and quickly opened the door,I stood in my original position facing the door and standing in the center of the bedroom,I stood there wondering if it would try to claw open the door and try to run at me,it was quiet other then soft weird knocking sounds from the basement door,I sighed softly under my breath,a small amount of pity came over me. After that I closed me eyes and when I opened them I was in my bedroom again,sitting in my bed like how I was when I closed my eyes,I then laid down and scrolled through the article to the bottom of the epage to comment this,as I did the strong,and very painful headaches occured

If all comments must be approved by the blog author then i know you will see this if you decide not to approve thats fine but im asking for a litle bit of your time...i have been going through seeing hearing and talking to the dead for a while....but what i went through i didnt expect...i tried this on nov.6th 2015...i have been doing research on why i can do what i do...so tonight on nov8th 2015 at about 4:40pm a little 3 yr old boy on my road went missing...my heart my soul everything i am was pulling me in a direction people swore he wasnt...to later find out i was being pulled to the hospital behind my house...where soemeone had taken him...the whole hour and a half i helped search for this child i knew we were in the wrong place...can you explain that to me...and please when people do this vision quest and feel scared or threatened do not tell them they are safe..they have made contact to a degree...there for activity may increase..my opinion you should have reference sites to help them be able to identify the type of haunt/activity...no matter how old your post new people will find them... you may think this is fun and games but its not...that i do promise you...

Then if you go to the link above the author talks about that you have 80% ability to see ghosts? I'm not really good at theses kinds of things but when I started in my old room I thought I saw a black figure and felt extremely uncomfortable. I visualized the rest and I felt nothing afterwards.

i tried but i am having problems visualizing ...see me and my friend have the same thing a guy but he is black blob like so you cant tell but she can hear and see him but i can only see him some time he gets so flustered in hopes i would hear he will scram i dont know what to do to make me hear him i have no ritual materials so i need some help,what shall i do to be able to hear him/desperate/

I ended up falling a sleep when I tried this. At first I just got up and started walking arround my room and there was a bright light by one of my windows. All the lights were closed as I walked around the house. I don't know why but I automatically skipped the bathroom and continued on to the rest of my house. I went to the kitchen and I think I saw my grandmother but it could of just been me imaging her on her favored chair. It's only been 2 years and today was the first day I actually cried and realized that she was actually gone. I may sound crazy but I smelled her perfume before I woke up.

My parents room was the darkest, however when I went to the attic I saw these shadows movinging towards me. That's when I began to wake up but before I was able to open my eyes I say this face pop up and it was the face that's been reappearing in my dreams.

It could be my imagination but it felt so real. I woke up 3 hours later sweatin like crazy and unable to move. My dog was besides me which suprised me because my door was closed and there was no way for her to get in.

ok, wtf, barel closed my eyes, and some old woman was standing by my dresser watching me, 5 am, dark, alone, on my laptop, i try this out, and wham! im not alone! im scared S***LESS! thanks though. this helps, i like a good scare. lolz.

I tried this and saw no one in my house except for the room i was in, I saw myself and a girl sitting on my chair behind me, I don't know who she is, but I've seen her before in my house. I've never felt her body up against me before though, but I think I know why I always feel like I'm being watched. Also she's only ever interacted with once before now, but all she did was run her finger down my spine when I was in bed. When I tried this she looked surprised when see saw me and then went back to hugging me. I don't know if my house is haunted or I'm haunted, yet it doesn't bother me.

Question: Is it natural for spirits or ghosts to be attached to people? I'm only asking this because she looked like she was enjoying hugging me.

It's hard to walk around the rooms in my childhood house. All I could see is a post apocalyptic version of the house and it felt rotten and dark, with a dark heavy feeling about it. I saw some family members and this dark heavy feeling each time I took a step and I couldn't do anything about it. It felt like something was trying to block my vision by some sort of shadowy auras. I felt like a dead version of myself walking around, like a rotten moldy feeling like the house. I was really disturbed as it kept getting heavier the more I think about it so I had to stop midway.

What happens if you do see ghosts?And do you have to do it alone?Does it work when you sleep?I am having trouble sleeping if it happens in my sleep.I think it could be harmful, will the ghosts harm you?

I tried but the frist cauple of times my eyes..each time I tried to close it wouldn't work then I felt something watching me so I kept trying than I did and I saw this big eye looking at me form my window and then my opened and now my eyes won't close again I remembered my mom told me once that she sold herself to someone offer that she changed it's like something told her change and everyday she says she prays but when I say God she freaks out 😢 and I have Mark on my body that I looked up what it meant and It meant death

Woah once i went into my brothers room there was a guy blocking the door way so i wouldn't get out. Ive been doing a whole lot of tests, and turns out i have passed every one of them. Yeeesssss plus i have been seeing and hearing things i could see and talk to the dead!!!!!$
